This website is amazing! There's so many recipes I want to try out, but I'm a bit confused with the whole measurement conversion thing between countries. I'm from Australia, so the standard cup measure is 250mL and 1 tbsp is 20mL. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think UK cup measurements are the same except they use different tablespoon measures (15mL instead of 20mL). Am I correct in thinking that the recipes on this website use American measurements? That would mean that 1 cup is 240mL and one tablespoon is 15mL, right? :S:S:S someone help!
Hello: I've just been going thru the cup measurement thing the other way around - I love the Australian Women's Weekly website but was worried about the different measurements. I finally got some Aussie measuring cups through Epicurious Australia. For American measures, I would not worry about conversions but rather just purchase some regular cup/spoon measurements at any hardware store and just use those for the recipes here in the US.
Hello, again: You might try Epicurious Australia on the internet. If you would like me to purchase a plastic cups/spoons set here (they are really inexpensive) I can get some for you - will let you know the cost and mailing, which also will not be too expensive as the items are light. Just let me know and I will get to work on it. Heather
